Women's Soccer Stops Skid At Three

The Oswego State women's soccer team beat SUNYIT 6-1 today at Laker Field.  Sophomore goalkeeper Toby Klein had a shutout for 89:59 before allowing a goal to SUNYIT's Jane Burroughs with one second remaining.

Lakers Junior Tricia Sullivan scored three consecutive goals in the first half and, with the game easily in hand, did not play in the second.  Her first goal turned out to be the game winner.

The Lakers return to conference play Wednesday when they host Morrisville at 4 p.m.

Women's Soccer Drops SUNYAC Finale

From Oswego State Athletics website:

Jennifer Anselmi scored in the second half for New Paltz and it was the only goal of the game as the Hawks defeated the Oswego State women's soccer team 1-0 on Saturday afternoon at Laker Field in Oswego.

Oswego State finished SUNYAC play with a 4-6-1 conference record and is
5-10-1 overall. New Paltz clinched a SUNYAC playoff spot with the win and Fredonia's 1-0 loss to Brockport. The Hawks are 5-3-3 in the conference and 7-6-4 overall.

Anselmi's goal came on an excellent individual effort as she dribbled on the right wing, past an Oswego State defender and poked a low shot past the Laker goalkeeper.

Scoring chances were minimal on a windy day in Oswego, but Oswego State goalkeeper Toby Klein made 11 saves in the contest. New Paltz goalkeeper Sarah Boccard had two saves in the game. Each team had five corner kicks.

The Lakers will play non-conference games this week at Clarkson on Wednesday and at home against Scranton on Saturday.

Several Fall Programs Still Winless

Oswego State men's and women's soccer, field hockey and golf are still 0-for-autumn. Thankfully, volleyball and women's tennis are picking up some of the slack.

The tennis squad downed Wells College 8-1 in their season opener, while volleyball (2-3) beat for their second straight victory. The Lakers lost two of the first three sets, but won the final two sets by scores of 30-26 and 15-13 for the comeback victory. Heidi Armstrong led Oswego State with 20 kills and 19 digs. Amanda McManus recorded 33 assists.

Women's soccer suffered a devastating defeat at the hands of St. John Fisher Saturday. The Lakers led for 55 minutes of the double-overtime contest. Tricia Sullivan put the Lakers on the board in the 26th minute on a rebound after Ashley Pople's direct kick struck the crossbar. Oswego State missed several opportunities to expand their lead in the second half before Fisher's Mary Dougherty lofted a shot over the head of Laker goalkeeper Toby Klein from 30 yards out.

Fisher then took the win in the 101st minute on a Kelly Zeppetella goal.
